Next week I’m giving a talk about being a programmer to my sister’s 6th grade class. The kids gave me some questions to answer and I think I’m going to build a little app with them too. Any advice for this talk is much appreciated 🙂

Working on an updated version of Scorebook (which was written entirely in Objective-C). I’m making new stuff in Swift, and having to update a bunch of the old code to work with the new. It’s been a while since I’ve had to do a bunch of bridging and this is a nice refresher.

Getting back into a project I wrote a few years ago exclusively in Objective-C and adding new stuff in Swift. I constantly forget to remember @objc declarations and have had to make a couple of wrappers so my Swift stuff will bridge correctly. But it’s good to be back in this app

It’s kind of surprising to me that a new line of iPhones were introduced today and I’m not really interested in upgrading to any of them (the XS being the only realistic option for me). I think that’s a credit to just how good the iPhone X is.

I made a couple of PRs to an open source library that hasn’t been updated in a while, and they haven’t been responded to in about a week. It’s totally cool for me to just merge the branches in my fork and just use my fork, right? I want to do right by the original author.

You know that feeling of coming back to the world after several amazing days in a row? I’ve got a massive case of that right now. Pearl Jam twice last week, Xcoders, and the last 3 days have been great times with family. I’m so thankful for all the memories we made.

What a great Pearl Jam show last night. Both Wednesday and and last night were great sets that were way different from each other. Eddie broke out the harmonica for Footsteps on the second song and I knew we were in for a treat!

Pearl Jam show 1 of 2 last night was amazing! 3 hours and 2 encores. They brought all they had and are going to do it again tomorrow night. We were up in section 220 last night and will be in GA tomorrow.
